The Sad Love Story

 *The Sad Love Story*


Mugeeth & Bareerah


The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was telling his uncle Al Abaas the story of Mugheeth and Bareerah, he said: "O Abbas! Isn't it amazing how much Mugheeth loves Bareerah/Barirah and how much Bareerah hates Mugheeth?"


Bareerah was a female slave and 'Ā'isha  رضي الله عنها was interested in buying her. She was married to Mugheeth, and Ā'isha  رضي الله عنها freed her (they were married in slavery);

a free woman cannot marry a slave man, so after she became free, she had the choice to keep this marriage or to ask for the dissolvent of the marriage. 


She said, "Alḥamdulillāh, I'm tired of this marriage, I'm going to get out." 


Mugheeth loved her so much, sincerely and honestly. After she left him, he couldn't take it, so he went in public weeping, chasing her, asking her "Ya Bareera just look at me or talk to me." 


He went to Ṣaḥābah and said, "Please talk to her for me to Abū Bakr and Umar (May Allāh be pleased with them) and at the end, even to the Prophet ﷺ to ask him to intercede. So Prophet ﷺ (as the mercy for mankind) felt sorry for him, and he said he'd do it. 


When he went to Bareerah, she asked, "Are you commanding me or are you just interceding?" 


The Prophet ﷺ said, "I'm interceding." She replied, "If this is the case, then I don't want him", 


and since all else failed, he spent his life chasing after her and crying for her.


What to gain from the Ḥadīth?


Excessive love for someone, sometimes causes the forgetfulness of shyness. 


Just like in his example, he could not hide his love for Bareerah, but the Prophet ﷺ didn't chastise him for it (becuse it wasn't in his hands)


He wouldn't have been chastised for it unless he totally crossed the limits. Imām Ibn Hajr said that it is permissible if it's out of someone's hands.


In the story above, Mugeeth even went to the extent that he asked the Prophet to intercede for him. 


Mugheeth loved her so much that the Prophet ﷺ didn't deny that love, and he didn't say, "You can't, because she's not your wife anymore."


Never Love someone soo much that their absence will feel like a death upon you 💔

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

Friday and it's dignity.

 Friday and it's dignity. Alhamdulillah, Allah says, Al-Jumu'ah 62:9 يَآأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوۡمِ ٱلۡجُمُعَةِ فَٱسۡعَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُواْ ٱلۡبَيۡعَۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرࣱ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ O you who have believed, when [the adhān] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumuʿah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allāh and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew. Friday is the best day of the week because it was the day Adam was created, the day he entered paradise and the day he was removed from paradise. it was also the day he died and the hour(qiyaamah) will not come except on this day. Sahih. It was narrated from Aws bin Aws that: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever washes (ghassala) and performs ghusl, comes early to the masjid and sits near the imam and does not engage in idle talk, he will have for every step he takes (the reward of) a year's worth of good deeds, fasting it and...
